Description: This article has as a central concern the unpacking of New Zealand Anzac identities at war by reference to other British army formations during World War I, notably the English and the Australians both of whom were an important benchmark in the construction of New Zealand identities. By juxtaposing the traditional top down view with bottom up representations of New Zealanders at war two contradictory narratives are laid bare. It is argued that bottom up representations have some significant resonances with Australian Anzac narratives of the war. The aim of the article is to bridge separate national Anzac traditions through an historiographical synthesis that focuses on encounters at war as well as distinctive home front factors influencing understandings of the wartime experience.
